Hello guys.
I am realy worried with ranks system now, how ranks are wrong for several monthes.
I am gold2 and i personally know cobalts that are worse than me and some other golds. i will not say names, because they are my friends =)))))
the problem, as i see it is as folows:
ranks are *****ed, so MM works wrong (matches are not balanced game wise, but team ranks seem ok-ish), so rank do not (or do very slowly) change to the better (more precise representation of skill)
So as an alternative to the MM thingy i would like to talk about good old PUG system.
- You press “Play Competitive Pick-up game”
- you go the the PUG creation page, where you see hunderds of other PUG-searches with their current ELO.
- you have buttons
-quick join unfinished PUG lobby
-create PUG (all ranks or a restricted ranks check boxes - lower and/or higher than xx are not allowed) you can name a pug for easy search.
-pug browser (unfinished lobbies only) - within a PUG lobby you have 2 captains (2 players, who were captains for most times OR (if non of them was) - 2 most ELO players) and a button vote for different captain.
- then you play a pug (copy taste the DBN system ?)
why this is any better?
-it is a freakin PUG these games are usually far more balanced than any automatic MM
-it is ranked, so the ranks will become more correct.
OR
Ranked servers with 5v5 rule and Rank-based shuffle. and no MM-waiting.
Several Spec slots will be also hugely helpful.
this is much more easy way to make ppl play ranked matches. and there will be no 5premades vs solos ever (bacause of ranked shuffle every match)
